GDT: Leafs @ Devils 7pm

[weems]

The three players we picked up from Florida have all been very good so far.

Lorentz has been surprisingly effective. Almost every shift he's making things happen with good forechecking and smart plays.

Again this next goal is so important here. We get it and its basically game over.

 

[Torontonian]

Marner seems to be struggling so far in Berube system.

Keeps trying to go east/west and gives the puck away.

 

[stats1]

I’ll also say, Lorentz and Ekman-Larsson have been exactly as advertised. Lorentz is going to be an animal in the playoffs. Berube wants dirty goals I got a feeling he’ll be the guy doing it

They know what it takes to win it all, everyone else should be taking notes.

Marner is a slow starter every single year going back to junior. He will thrive in this system.

 

[Rare Jewel]

This conversation is point less until the spring.

JT could get 60 points again, but if they bounced early, then they have to go.

 

[MSZ]

Are you guys really surprised by Marner's play so far? He has always played like shit in October, like every single year.

Slow finisher as well.

 

[Dave92]

Another bad period from Matty. Getting outscored by 4th liners asif it's the payoffs.

 

[All Mod Cons]

It's only the second game and I still maintain there will be growing pains, but seeing Marner still dangling trying to make the pretty pass instead of shoot, the horrid d-zone coverage and the last-minute goal against are all so very Leafs that it's clear Berube has his work cut out for him.

Is Marner coachable?

 

[Rare Jewel]

Timmins plain sucks man.

He is a mess, yet he has 2 assists.

Weird player.

 

[Antropovsky]

Marner is a slow starter every single year going back to junior. He will thrive in this system because he gets to play with Matthews.

Its the first time in years the leafs have four top four D.

Rielly Tanev
OEL McCabe
Benoit Hakanpää

Legit top six.

Youd think being on a contract year would motivate him this time, but I guess he knows that Shanahan will make the 11.6m x 8y dream happen no matter what.

 

[McSnypsky]

How long does Chief keep that first line together?

 

[mmalady]

"dribble drama"

 

[Antropovsky]

Another bad period from Matty. Getting outscored by 4th liners asif it's the payoffs.

Matthews plays better with 4th liners.

Every shift, Marner is just throwing the puck away on low percentage blind passes to the slot.

 

[All Mod Cons]

What if we let Tavares walk and pick up Sam Bennett?

I think the game is already over.

 

[Rare Jewel]

What did Treliving get back from Florida for Bennett?

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Marner needs to get moved.

 

[fahad203]

What did Treliving get back from Florida for Bennett?

2nd and an unknown prospect that never materialized
I wanted him so bad in that trade dead line

Instead we got Foligno for a 1st

 

[MapleLeafs77]

Knies Matthews Domi
McMann Nylander Pacioretty
Robertson Tavares Marner
Lorentz Kampf Holmberg

 

[MSZ]

Sam Bennett isn't going to sign with a loser franchise like this.

 

[HockeyVirus]

People are talking about more goals. I think the opposite. In Berube's system, this game should be over. We have a rookie goalie in his first game in net, but this should be a situation that is a lock to win for our group with the defensive system and additions on D.
